I haven't really played too much into the game. I don't know if there is any actual difference between the in-game story if one plays on a Legacy character (of v1.0) or a newly-minted v2.0 character, but I am highly doubtful.
So far into my journey of Limsa Lominsa, while we are presented with a few things, the NPCs speeches and reactions are very vague and they confess to everyone having some foggy memories as well, especially regarding the "Warriors of Light" who were so brightly lit their details are fuzzy (like looking at an something with an actual very bright light in the background).
In any event, such thing is a personal journey. Some people can whip up something fast and others just feel the need to live through it. In other words, they want their history to unfold and be there for it. Basically, one could hand-wave and say, "They helped in re-construction," but some like more detail than that. They have to plan out if their NPC/PC family members survived, if they fell in love, if they were elevated in the community as towns came back together, if they went through "shell-shock" and sat out the renovation, and much more.
It fleshes out a character and some would rather "pick up" where they left off in a sense, although five years have passed. Others will explain it. It's just personal tastes.
